I just recieved an attachment on an email and I saved it under
export/home/qlink/6klp2/(name of file) and the computer said I have to go
to the home directory or something.  How do I get there?!!!!  This is a
very important attachment that I need right away!!  Please help.  ASAP

Krista:

It appears that the file was saved in your home directory, which PINE uses
by default for saves unless you tell it differently when actually saving
the file.  If you didn't tell it differently, here's how you can see it
and view it:

If you haven't exited PINE yet, do so.  Then at your command prompt (which
probably looks like a "%" sign or something similar, type "ls -la", and
hit enter. This will list the entire contents of your home directory. 
Your file *should* be there.  Assuming it's text you can type "pico (name
of file)" and that will let you see the text attachment.  If it's a
binary, like a word processing file or a spreadsheet file, you will most
likely need to FTP it out of your home directory onto your work station or
PC. If this is the case contact your system administrator at your school,
and he or she can advise you on the best way to accomplish this.  Let me
know if this helps.

Good luck,

more <file>, or less <file> should be easier;-)

Don't let Robert J. Wilshe scare you off;-) Type ftp, open <hostname> (e.g. 
ftp.your-uni.edu), change (cd) to export/home/qlink/6klp2/, type ls (or dir) 
to locate the file, type get <filename> and there you are.

Just my $.02.

Have a nice weekend,

Robin
